i get ur point, but then how often does one get worked up enough to sing thinking of same-gender friends etc.? Forget hindi movies, i dont find too many guys even in real life get up on stage and croon away for their dearest friends. of course, there is some room for other songs, but it's probably only a 2' by 2' room IMO.
as for the "yaadon kee baraat" song, yes it had great lyrics etc, but it probably worked best for it's time. the whole scene would likely look very corny now- some of the acting and song sequences back then feel very over-done to me. haan, ma-beta ma-beti loris and songs still make sense- that's an emotion which was as natural then as it is today.
Arey baba, who is asking you to get worked up about same-gender friends? 😆 And songs on friendship are as natural as the ones on maa-beta,beti.
In "dil chahta hai kabhi na beetein chamkeele din" the male-bonding that comes across is so refreshing. This was a recent hit song and not even from the golden era which I endorse. The film-makers made money. Another recent song was "I am the Best", pretty unusual.
I want to see more songs based on ordinary situations in life, which we can identify with. Just a little creativity is needed.
